The scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) was invented by Binnig and Rohrer and received a Nobel Prize of Physics in 1986. Together with the atomic force microscope (AFM), it provides nondestructive atomic and subatomic resolution on surfaces. Especially, in recent years, internal details of atomic and molecular wavefunctions are observed and mapped with negligible disturbance. Since the publication of its first edition, this book has been the standard reference book and a graduatelevel textbook educating several generations of nanoscientists. In Aug. 1992, the coinventor of STM, Nobelist Heinrich Rohrer recommended: 'The Introduction to Scanning tunnelling Microscopy by C.J. Chen provides a good introduction to the field for newcomers and it also contains valuable material and hints for the experts'. For the second edition, a 2017 book review published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography said 'Introduction to Scanning tunnelling Microscopy is an excellent book that can serve as a standard introduction for everyone that starts working with scanning probe microscopes, and a useful reference book for those more advanced in the field'. The third edition is a thoroughly updated and improved version of the recognized 'Bible' of the field.Additions to the third edition include: theory, method, results, and interpretations of the nondestructive observation and mapping of atomic and molecular wavefunctions; elementary theory and new verifications of equivalence of chemical bond interaction and tunnelling; scanning tunnelling spectroscopy of high Tc superconductors; imaging of selfassembled organic molecules on the solidliquid interfaces. Some key derivations are rewritten using mathematics at an undergraduate level to make it pedagogically sound.
